Women’s Suicides Underreported

Experts warn that domestic abuse-related suicides among women in the UK are significantly under-reported, with only 10% of cases officially tracked.
In 2024, there were 98 suspected suicides linked to domestic abuse, compared to 80 intimate partner homicides.
Campaigners argue that many of these suicides could be preventable if police acted on prior abuse reports.
There has been only one manslaughter conviction since 2017, prompting calls for a new law.
